Check out Hitch bumper tire carrier from rigd supply and its made in the US

Nice find. I don’t know if I could run it with the boat or trailer on. I will contact them and see what they think. Thanks. They did have this pic on their site

I think the hitch is rated up to 10K?

They are, but they cut the tongue weight and tow weight of the vehicle by half when it’s installed. They have a towing guide that I didn’t see the first time I looked.

Now that’s a way better idea than hiding battery’s under there. Hate not having at least 36 gallons.

Lots of spare tire fuel cells out there..

The real question is would you need to run a small transfer pump and move fuel from the spare tire location to the main tank? Don't really know how all that would work.

I believe any non-factory fuel cell would need an E pump to resupply the main tank, and then of course a way to properly fill it and cycle gas through it as it got old.

But to get back on topic, it seems like very few people here are running Dual Batteries on Gen 4s and I am not sure a battery that exposed on the undercarriage would be a good thing, unless properly armored.

The Ex is great for what it is, but if you want anything more from it...? Not so much. And yes, I understand the primary consumer targeted--all too well--from the moment Ford left the solid rear axle department.

theres a thread with a website from at least within the last 5 yrs that listed a jeep 4x4 website that offered a dual under hood battery setup...other than that u can put it in the rear panel or just placed in the rear...i hae 2 NS480AGM batteries weighing 150lbs each in the middle backseat location...pushing 25K watts rms for 4-18" subs

Wow! Assuming a 12 VDC, that would be over 2000 amps!
